Chapter 260 A Match Made in Heaven.
Observing Beth’s pretentious display. Maggie was tempted to applaud her performance.
Behold, the true heiress of the Brays!
As long as her skin is thick enough, she can easily deflect blame onto others without a second thought.
“Ms. Bray, I apologize for taking the liberty of making a decision on my own, but I did it for you! Please forgive me just this once.” The bodyguard pleaded desperately, his performance perfectly aligning with the narrative that he acted on his own initiative.

Beth’s brows furrowed as she coldly scolded, “By using my name to carry out such actions, you tamished my family’s reputation. Moreover, you have wronged Ms. Adam. If you seek forgiveness, you should seek it from her.”
Turning to Maggie, Beth continued, “It seems there have been misunderstandings between us. I trust you are magnanimous and will not hold a grudge against me.”
A trace of coldness flickered in Maggie’s eyes. Beth elevated herself to a moral stance while assuming a submissive stance. If Maggie refuses to let this go, it would seem unreasonable and unforgiving on her
part.
In reality, what could she truly do to a scapegoat like the driver if she decided to pursue the matter further?
Ultimately, it would only be a minor inconvenience for Beth, who could easily find someone else to carry out her orders.
Before Maggie could respond, Ronald spoke up indignantly, taking the opportunity to assert himself, “Ms. Bray, you should clarify the entire situation. Maggie was fortunate to avoid a serious injury. Had she not, the consequences of falling from such a height would have been unimaginable.”
Maggie understood Ronald’s underlying intentions. He was simply seizing the moment for his own. benefit
After a moment of contemplation, Beth conceded, “You’re right. Regardless, this man is associated with my family, and I must take responsibility. To demonstrate my sincerity, I am willing to provide compensation.”
Ronald wanted to say something, but Maggie swiftly interjected, “Alright, I heard Ms. Bray has a pair of lovers‘ watches in your private collection. Since you wish to make amends, I wonder if you’re willing to part with them.”
Maggie’s request caught Beth off guard. She hadn’t anticipated that Maggie would specifically ask for those watches. They were a custom design from a renowned international jewelry designer, personally tailored. by a prestigious watch brand.
She had requested numerous revisions until they were perfect, and many were aware of them because the designer considered them a crowning achievement. So, it was common knowledge.
Despite this, Beth never expected Maggie to be so well–informed or to make such a bold request.
“So, what’s it going to be?s Ms. Bray’s apology just empty words, or do you believe my life isn’t worth that

Maggie didn’t mince her words. She had heard of the watches in her past life because Beth had once gifted them to Nathael.
At a gala, she asked Maggie to pass them on to him.
Such a balatan bully clearly showed that Beth did not consider Maggie at all.
Given this. Maggie was right to seize what she desired.
Beth struggled with her words for a long time. Her reluctance was evident to everyone, but few felt Maggie was being unreasonable.
Whether it was the Camerons, Nathael, or even Maggie herself, they could easily afford a pair of watches. It was clear that Maggie intended to claim something Beth held dear.
If the Brays ‘compensation was insignificant, how was it different from buying a life with money?
Struggling. Beth couldn’t help but glance at Nathael.
His expression was cool, and his gaze upon her was sharp and unyielding, devoid of the warmth they had shared over the years growing up together, making Beth feel like less than a stranger.
She felt a stabbing pain in her chest, spreading a dense and intense pain that made it difficult for her to
breathe.
She had originally intended the watches to be her and Nathael’s wedding gifts.
But as the wedding seemed ever more distant, she thought it would suffice to make them engagement gifts. instead.
Now, with their marriage finally progressing. Beth would occasionally polish them, thinking of presenting them to him after their engagement party concluded.
Yet, Maggie, of all things, fancied these very watches!
All the thought Beth had put into them was for herself and Nathael, not for Maggie.
If Beth saw Maggie wearing the watches with Nathael, her manners could crumble. She might not be able to stop herself from lunging forward to grab Maggie by the hair and scratch her face before tearing the watch off!
“I have another pair of watches, a different style but not far off in value from the ‘A Match Made in Heaven” pair,” Beth said, locking eyes with Maggie, her voice steady.
“Does Miss Bray see me as a beggar?” Maggie interrupted sharply, cutting off her words.
That rebuked Beth’s silence, and her expression darkened even further.
“Things we like are liked for their sake, not their value. For today’s matter, it seems Miss Bray’s sincerity is somewhat lacking.
Beth clenched the fingers hanging by her side as she looked into Maggie’s mocking eyes.
Before making this decision, she never imagined Maggie would covet that pair of watches.

“How about this? I’ll offer Ms. Adam another pair of watches plus a villa in the city area as compensation,” Beth conceded, knowing she shouldn’t hold on any longer.
The longer she persisted, the more it revealed how important the watches were to her, and the more it seemed like she lacked sincerity.
Nonetheless, she had spent nearly a year acquiring those watches, and she couldn’t bear to part with them.
Before Maggie could speak, Nathael seemed annoyed and spoke gravely. “If Ms. Bray is unwilling to part with them. I shall visit Master Bray some other time. Surely, Master Bray will see to fair play.”
At these words, Beth’s eyes reddened..
Had Maggie not caught her in a compromising situation, had the driver not taken the blame, and had Nathael not gone to confront her grandfather for another woman, her grandfather would likely demand an explanation from old Mr. Harris.
She was clearly at a disadvantage. In high society, where family reputation was paramount, even if only for the sake of honor, her grandfather would surely compel her to give up the watches and perhaps offer something else as compensation.
“Let’s go, Nathael said. taking hold of Maggie’s hand, ready to leave.
Struggling for a moment, Beth closed her eyes and made her decision, “I’ll send the watches to Ms. Adam later.
Maggie said with a smile, “Thank you, Ms. Bray, for your generosity.”
Beth had given the watches to another woman, Nathael. Apart from reluctance, what she felt was a deeper sense of humiliation. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
As Maggie walked past her, she paused her steps, tilted her head, and whispered, “Oh! I forgot to tell you, Ms. Bray. The whole pregnancy was a joke between Nathael and me. I didn’t expect you to take it seriously.
